About Me:
Hello,I'm new to this site but not Alopecia. I've had Alopecia for nearly 20 years of my life. I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm struggling with it....my confidence is through the roof and so should yours. Please do not let this condition get you down. You are not Your hair!

I'm located in Modesto California....and am interested in getting a support group started and am also in the beginning stages of wigmaking.
Do you have alopecia?
Alopecia areata
Are you age 18 or older?
Yes

    Thanks Benechia - I am still awake at 3am, just paniced and beside myself with anxiety and despair. I'm still in the why is this happening, what did I do to be punished stage. Cannot cope even with a counselors help. It gives me a slight sense of peace to have found this site and caring ppl like you to talk with. Thanks.
